How to use this hero
Home faction: Necropolis
An economic Death Knight with Necromancy
Clavius combines +350 daily gold, Basic Necromancy, Basic Offence and Magic Arrow. Evaluate income, post-battle gains and army attacks separately; Animate Dead is another spell to acquire.
Secondary role: A second commander for reinforcements and easier fights, provided this does not slow the main army.
What the profile establishes
Specialty · Gold
Provides 350 Gold daily. Compare the income with recruitment cost and the number of days you keep the hero.
Listed starting skills
- Basic Necromancy
- Basic Offence
Suggested army and further development
The following is our recommendation. Creatures, spells and items must actually be acquired; this does not establish current inventory.
Build further choices around the listed skills and the needs of the current army. Choose equipment for the actual bottleneck: survival, attack effectiveness, mana or movement.
Skills I would build around: Basic Necromancy · Basic Offence. Match further choices to available ranks and the current army.

Detailed game plan · Clavius: income, Necromancy and the combat reserve
The following is our tactical analysis of the sourced profile. Choices depend on the actual map, learned spells and army; linked cards provide rules and references.
Separate three sources of further strength
Daily gold funds recruitment, Necromancy is resolved after an eligible victory and a town dwelling has its own availability. These are not one free reward. Plan them around safely winnable encounters and the cash available when purchasing.
Use Magic Arrow to remove a threat
Magic Arrow is established in the starting profile. Compare actual damage and mana cost with whether the hit prevents another enemy action. Basic Offence supports melee attacks rather than independently improving a Power Lich’s ranged blast.
Acquire Animate Dead before relying on it
Necromancy does not establish Animate Dead knowledge. If acquired, plan friendly undead recovery around its health budget, casualties and upcoming actions. Future income cannot retroactively replace an army destroyed in an excessively risky fight today.
Split equipment between growth and repeated battles
Vampire’s Cowl supports Necromancy and Charm of Mana daily recovery. Check whether Skeleton growth, mana or reinforcement delivery limits the next expedition. Choosing Clavius for income does not automatically mean benching his developed combat skills.
